#58Yes, Wilmslow loses out quite badly. Anyone wanting to head south will have to double back to Manchester on the Styal stopper! Meanwhile XC will also be running via Crewe and Wilmslow but won't be calling at any intermediate station between Stafford and Manchester.
I get there are concerns about overcrowding, but needlessly not calling at stations when there's a strike on is just counterproductive.
I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that at Wilmslow, Northern services are dispatched solely by the guard, but Pendolinos and Voyagers are dispatched with the assistance of platform staff. If there are no available station staff who are competent as dispatchers (which there may well not be, if station staff are striking also) then what solution is there other than services that require them simply not calling there?
That might not be the singular reason not to call at Wilmslow, but I imagine it will be a contributing factor if station staff are on strike.
